Lookout is a phone security program, but many people find it overly intrusive and cumbersome. It can have a drastic performance impact on your device as well. Removing Lookout can be a bit tricky, especially if it came pre-installed on your device by your carrier.

Steps

1

Open your device's Settings app. You can usually find this in your App Drawer, or by pressing your device's Menu button.

Tap "Uninstall" and then confirm that you want to delete Lookout. The Lookout app will be removed from your device.[1]

This is only possible if you installed Lookout yourself. If lookout came pre-installed on your device, read on.

Root your device if you can't uninstall. Some phones may come with Lookout preinstalled by the mobile carrier. If this is the case, it cannot be deleted without rooting your device. The process is different for every Android device, and not all devices can be rooted, but this guide can get you started.

If you don't want to root, you should still be able to disable Lookout from the Applications menu. This will prevent it from loading, which will essentially accomplish the same thing.
